The medication summary section contains a description of the patient's medications relevant for the scope of the patient summary. The actual content could depend on the jurisdiction, it could report:
the currently active medications;
the current and past medications considered relevant by the authoring GP;
the patient prescriptions or dispensations automatically extracted by a regional or a national EHR.
In all those cases however medications are documented in the Patient Summary as medication statements.
This section requires either an entry indicating the subject is known not to be on any medications; either an entry indicating that no information is available about medications; or entries summarizing the subject's medications.
The optional author and informant elements are used when necessary to convey the provenance and authoring of the section content in case it is different from what is announced in the CDA header.
